Genuine tempo with Two Shadow likely to find herself in front. Grade 3 winner JUSTIN (12) was in a different class last time, sitting just off the speed before letting down impressively for a 2 length win at Ohi over 1200m. In fine form and worth following up. Grade 2 placegetter BULLBEAR IRIDE (1) proved too strong last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 2 lengths at Kawasaki over 1600m. One of the top chances again. TWO SHADOW (8) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 2 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. BON DIMANCHE (7) is progressing well this preparation, getting the job done by a neck last time out over 1400m at Ohi. Well placed to feature in the finish again.
